Hi, Bernard. I can't really help you with your specific current problem, but since you mentioned SystemRescueCD, I just wanted to note that a new version, SystemRescueCD 6.1.2, just came out a few days ago, 2020-03-29. It is easy to write the .iso to a usb thumb drive and run it from there. The website, including instructions, is: http://www.system-rescue-cd.org Good luck!
